罗马尼亚一男子阔别祖国多年，再次回国发现自己“死得透透的”

BUCHAREST, Romania — A Romanian court has rejected a man’s claim that he’s alive after he was officially registered as deceased.

罗马尼亚布加勒斯特—罗马尼亚一家法院驳回了一名男子的诉讼，该男子称他被正式登记为死者，实际还活着。

A court spokeswoman said Friday that 63-year-old Constantin Reliu lost his case in the northeast city of Vasului because he appealed too late. The ruling is final.

一名法庭发言人星期五说，63岁的康斯坦丁.里乌在Vasului东北部城市的案子败诉，因为他上诉得太晚了。这项判决是最终裁决。

Media reported Reliu went to Turkey in 1992 for work and lost contact with his Romanian family. Hearing no news from her husband, his wife managed to get a death certificate for him in 2016.

据媒体报道，里乌于1992年前往土耳其工作，与罗马尼亚家人失去了联系。由于不再有丈夫的任何消息，他的妻子在2016年设法为他办理了死亡证明。

Turkish authorities located Reliu this year with expired papers and deported him. When he arrived in Romania, he discovered he had been declared dead.

土耳其当局今年查到里乌使用过期护照，将他驱逐出境。当他到达罗马尼亚时，他发现他已被宣布死亡。

He was quoted as saying: “I am officially dead, although I’m alive, I have no income and because I am listed dead, I can’t do anything.”

用他的话说：“虽然我还活着，但是正式死了，我没有收入，因为被宣告死亡，我什么都做不了。”
